On Saturday 6th June 1998 at 1am, Chronological
Crue caught up with Neil Wharton in Covina, California. Neil is the
only son of Mötley Crüe front man Vince Neil. Read on to gain an
insight into the Wharton family, growing up with Vince as your Dad, his
video with Pamela Anderson, and much more.

Chronological
Crue: I want to start with Vince’s childhood. I believe his Mum’s name
is Shirley and his Dad is Odie.

Neil
Wharton: Yeh. Well, his real name is Clois, but we call him Odie
because he got picked on because of his name.

CC: Oh
right. He’s half Mexican I believe?

NW: Yeh.

CC: And
Vince has a sister Valerie who was born before Vince.

NW: Yeh.

CC: And then
a younger brother called Neil?

NW: No there
was just him.

CC: So
there’s just the two kids?

NW: Yeh.
Actually I think my Dad’s older. Yeh. My Dad’s older.

CC: Oh OK.
How much older would he be than Valerie?

NW: I think
3 or 4 years. Not that much.

CC: So then
when Vince was seventeen in 1978 he was fronting Rockandi, which was
his band before Mötley. I believe you were born in October of that year?

NW: Yeh.

CC: And that
was from a relationship with a girl Tami, who is your Mum.

NW: That’s
right.

CC: Not much
is known about Tami. Can you tell us a little bit about her?

NW: Let’s
see. In High School my Mum was, kind of like, the ass kicker kind of
person. My Mum’s a great person. I love my Mum with all my heart. She’s
a really great Mum. Do you want to know about her in High School?

CC: Yeh. How
did they meet? Do you know the story of how Vince and Tami met?

NW: I’ve
heard so many different ones. The one that stands out the most would
have to be when my Dad broke his leg, or something, skateboarding. He
used to skate at the pipeline in Glendora. I guess he was coming out of
the boys room or something and Mum looked at him and she kind of felt
sorry for him. She wanted to help him with his books and he smiled at
her. That’s what caught her eye.

CC: So they
went to the same school?

NW: Oh yeh.

CC: How long
had they been together? Was it ages, or was it just a fleeting thing?

NW: They
were together for a little while. Something like a year and a half, or
two years.

CC: You were
born in the October of that year, and it was a couple of years later
that Mötley formed. So were you like living with your Mum or your Dad?

NW: I was
living with both of them.

CC: Up until
the time Mötley formed?

NW:
Actually, for a little while after they formed.

CC: So after
they split, I guess, because Vince later on got married to...

NW: Beth.

CC: Yeh, and
that was what, ’83?

NW: Yeh, I
believe so.

CC: So I
guess with Vince being on tour, I assumed you lived more with your Mum.

NW: Yeh.
They didn’t really go on tour until later on. They were playing places
like the Starwood, the Roxy, all the little clubs out here.

CC: Right.
So then in ’83, Vince was with his first wife because he never married
Tami right?

NW: No,
that’s right.

CC: So he’s
with Beth Lynn and he has a daughter Elizabeth Ashley.

NW: Yeh.

CC: So she’s
your step-sister?

NW: Yeh.

CC: Do you
see her much still?

NW: No. She
lives in Florida. I saw her last Christmas, which was pretty cool.

CC: Great.
So is she with Beth still?

NW: Yes.
She’s with her Mum.

CC: So
what’s Beth like? Can you tell me a little bit about her?

NW: Little
Beth? Or her Mum?

CC: Both.

NW: I really
don’t remember her Mum really that much. She was really nice. She’s
pretty cool. She’s a real sweetheart. She’s real family orientated. She
did a lot of stuff for my Grandmother and stuff. Bethy: she’s one of
those smart kids. She’s around thirteen now, and really, really smart.
She reads books every day. Just talking to her is really weird. You can
tell she’s a bit smarter than you.

CC: Hahaha.

NW: Just the
way she pronounces things and says stuff. It’s kind of strange. We were
having this discussion over the Titanic and she knew everything about
it. It’s pretty cool. She’s really cool which is great.

CC: So she’s
called Bethy? Is that like the nickname, so they don’t get mixed up?

NW: Yeh,
like a little nickname.

CC: So
moving on. We’re approaching the end of ’84 when Vince had the
unfortunate crash when Razzle was in the passenger’s seat. What do you
remember about that incident, like at the time when it happened? What
are your memories of that?

NW: I just
remember hearing about it. My Grandma trying to tell me about it
because I was too small to really understand what was going on.

CC: Yeh,
well ’84, you would’ve been like 6 or something?

NW: Yeh. I
was just kind of buffed about it ‘cause I didn’t know where he was.
People tried to explain it to me but when you’re small, you really
don’t catch it. You just think Dad’s gone for a while. That’s kind of
what they tried to cover it up to me like.

CC: How
often would you have seen him in those days anyway, because they were
touring a fair bit then?

NW: Oh,
quite a lot really.

CC: So when
they were back in L.A. would you be spending time with him during the
days?

NW: Yeh,
quite a bit. I mean, not a whole lot. Kind of like, weekends at a time,
or whenever he had some free time. When they weren’t on tour they were
usually recording and stuff like that, so when he did have free time
I’d come and visit.

CC: What
kind of stuff did you used to get up to?

NW: We used
to do real cool stuff. Like play video games ‘cause his house was set
up with them. We used to do that, or take a hike, or play catch, and
just other father and son stuff.

CC: So
that’s back in the Pacman and Space Invaders days?

NW: Yeh and
on the Intelevision.

CC: Did you
ever flog your Dad at the video games or was he pretty good at them?

NW: Nah, I
kicked his butt!

CC: Of
course you’d say that.

NW: C’mon.
Kids are way better than grownups at video games.

CC: Yeh,
that’s often true actually. Certainly with my boy anyway.

NW: Hahaha.

CC: So Vince
ended up only spending eighteen days in jail after his sentence was
reduced. Did you visit him while he was inside?

NW: No I
didn’t.

CC: Yeh. I
guess the family didn’t think that was the best thing.

NW: Yeh
that’s right.

CC: Vince used to go on a lot of holidays to
like, Palm Springs and the Caribbean, while he wasn't touring. Did he
ever take you away to places overseas, tropical resorts, and places
like that?

NW: No. I
never did any of that stuff. I had to stay home. When he did that
stuff, I was at school. A lot of it wasn’t really in the summer time. A
lot of it was done when he had the time free.

CC: So you
were still living with your Mum, until when?

NW: I still
live with her actually.

CC: You
still do? Right. OK.

NW: Well, I
moved out a while ago because I got a job near my Grandparents in
Bullhead, Arizona.

CC: So your
grandparents on your Mum’s side?

NW: No my
Dad’s. That’s why it’s been hard for me to do this interview because I
went out there.

CC:
Yeh sure. So just before the Crüe went out on tour in ’87, Vince sold
his house in Porter Ranch. Do you remember that house much?

NW: No I
don’t really remember it. I remember the Chatsworth house. I remember
the Malibu house, and his new one. Other than that, I really don’t know
to be honest with you. He’s had all kinds of houses.

CC: Vince
got divorced from Beth and met up with Sharise before getting married
to her in ’88.

NW: Yeh.

CC: Had he
split with Beth long before he met Sharise and that relationship began?

NW: I really
don’t know the story behind that one. No one’s ever told me that. I
think it was a little while after they split, but I’m not really that
sure.

CC: Sure. So
how did you get on with Sharise. How did you find her as a person?

NW: Oh I
like Sharise a lot. She’s great too. I thought she was really sweet and
kind. She’s really pretty. I liked her. She cooks really good too.

CC: Moving
on to Dr. Feelgood days, your Dad was in the movie The Adventures of
Ford Fairlane. You would have been about eleven or so when that came
out. Do you remember going to see it at the movies?

NW: Oh yeh!

CC: Did you
go to a premiere?

NW: No I
didn’t go to the premiere. Something happened. I was going to go, but
then I didn’t go. A whole bunch of my friends took me. It was pretty
cool. It was kind of strange looking up there and seeing your Dad on
the big screen. It’s different when it’s a concert because you’re so
used to that, but seeing him on a movie screen is like Woah! Knowing
that a whole bunch of people, that may not like Mötley Crüe, are
watching it anyway thinking it’s pretty cool. I kind of dug that.

CC:
Excellent. What was the first concert you remember seeing of the Crüe’s?

NW:
I used to go to their first concerts, like the Starwood. I used to go
to the Whisky, Gazzarri’s. Everywhere they played in Hollywood, I used
to go. I was like three. I was the youngest person in the club.

CC: As they
got bigger and obviously you got older, did you really understand what
was happening with the band, and how big they actually were getting?

NW: Yeh I
kind of knew. I had an idea. I knew pretty much what was going on.
Girls used to try and cut my hair ‘cause I was his son and stuff. That
was pretty horrible. Bad traumatising experiences. But it was pretty
cool though. I’m happy for my Dad. I’m glad everything turned out for
him.

CC:
Excellent. After the huge success of Dr. Feelgood there was the Decade
Of Decadence days. Then, it was early in 1992 that he turned up for
rehearsals for the new album and was fired. What do you recall about
that time?

NW: I
remember right before Christmas, there was lots of stuff going on then.
Magic Johnson retired that year, and all that sort of stuff. My Dad was
Magic’s friend. Then I remember we were just sitting back talking about
it all. It was a bad time. It was like Woah! We all got through it.

CC: Yeh,
sure. It seems like he was pretty determined to keep rocking, as such.

NW: Oh yeh!

CC: That’s
when he put together the Vince Neil Band with the other guys. Steve
Stevens and Vikki Foxx, etc. Exposed was recorded and then came out.
Then there was the Sister Of Pain film clip that featured Janine
Lindemulder, the porn queen. So Vince wasn’t with Sharise at that
stage. When did they split?

NW: Gosh,
ummm. I don’t know that one. They were still together after he got
fired and my little sister was born, Skylar. She was born just before
that. I’d have to say probably ’93, somewhere around there. It was
before the Vince Neil Band really did their thing.

CC: Did
Vince getting fired from Mötley have anything to do with that do you
think?

NW: What
getting divorced?

CC: Yeh.

NW: I really
don’t know what the reasons behind that were. I really have no idea. I
stay out of that. I’m like, "Oh, whatever."

CC: Sure. So
once the Exposed album came out, there was a video for Can’t Have Your
Cake that featured YOU in it, along with Pamela Anderson, who I believe
Vince was with at the time.

NW: Yeh he
was dating.

CC: Tell us
a bit about being in the video, and how that all came to be, and what
it was all like.

NW: Actually
I was at my Gran's house and I got a call from somebody that works for
them. She was really nice and she was like, "We’re doing the video and
we want to know if you want to be in it." I was like, OK. Summer time
was coming up and it was my freshman year in High School. They didn’t
really know what I was going to do or what I was meant to be doing, or
anything like that. They just knew that I was supposed to be portraying
my Dad in the video. I didn’t know if I was going to have to learn the
song and I was to sing it or something, until the day that I got there.

CC: So were
you practising beforehand just in case?

NW: I
already knew all the verses anyway. I was ready. I was just so stoked.
I dyed my hair blonde and crossed my fingers. We drove out to Hollywood
to a little house that they rented out from some lady. That’s when they
introduced me to Pamela Anderson. I was like, "All right! Bonus!"
Pamela Anderson is one the nicest, sweetest people I have ever met in
my whole entire life.

CC: Wow.

NW: They can
say mean things about her all they want to, but she’s the nicest person
I’ve ever met. She was great to work with. She helped me out a lot
because I didn’t really know what I was doing. Everything pretty much
only took a couple of takes. The Producers were pleased. Usually when
you get somebody who doesn’t really know what they’re doing, it takes a
long time. It probably took only a couple of takes to do every shot, so
it went along pretty smoothly. I brought this girl that I had a crush
on. She’s in the video, at the end there’s two people walking along as
we [Pam & Neil] pull up in the car right in front of the tattoo
place.

CC: Yeh,
Sunset Strip Tattoo.

NW: Well,
there’s two people, two extras walking across. It’s the girl on the
right hand side walking. That’s the girl I had a crush on. I brought
her along. They put her in the video.

CC: Cool.
What was her name?

NW: Her name
was Joelle. It was a good experience. I had a great time. It was fun. I
got to go to the tattoo place and they drew this cool tattoo on my arm.

CC: Who
actually drew that on you?

NW: It was
one of the tattoo artists.

CC: That’s
actually the first tattoo that Vince got. [Snake wrapped around a
musical note]

NW: Yeh.

CC: So it
was copying that. In the video, does Pam play Vince’s sister, Valerie?

NW: Yeh.

CC: It
starts off with you reading a Playboy, shaving in the mirror.

NW: Yeh, I
want to put to rest the rumour that everybody thinks is true but it’s
not. That is, the person portraying my Grandma in the video. The little
old lady; that is not my Grandma. I’ll let everybody know now. I got so
much flak for that. "That lady in the video is your Grandma?" No she’s
not!

CC: Just
like Pam is not really Vince’s sister, although you may wish she was! I
must say though, you play some pretty good air guitar.

NW:
[laughing] Thank you very much. Do you know how many takes that took?
That took so long to do because they had to make the floor all slippery
and everything. We tried it a couple of times without the pillow and
all that stuff, but I kind of stuck to the floor in my Levis. Don’t try
it at home kids. It doesn’t work!

CC: So what
were the other guys in the Vince Neil Band like toward you?

NW: You
know, I never really met any of them. I met Vikki Foxx and Brent Woods.
I like Brent. Me and Brent still hang out now to this day because my
Dad’s still really good friends with him.

CC:
Excellent.

NW: Other
than that, I never met Steve Stevens or the others.

CC: Your Dad
fell out I believe, with guys like Robbie Crane and some of the others
from his old band, which seems a bit of a shame. But that’s good that
he still sees Brent. What other guys does he see a fair bit of these
days, from old bands?

NW: Gee, I
really don’t know.

CC: He was
good mates with Fred Coury from Cinderella there for a while.

NW: He’s
friends with the Nelson twins.

CC: Oh yeh.
It must be the blonde hair!

NW:
[laughing] Yeh they probably use the same dye or something. I remember
at Christmas time Duff MacKagan from Guns N’ Roses came over to my
Dad’s Christmas party. He’s really cool. He was also friends with Frank
Sinatra.

CC: Really?
Wow. Did he go to his funeral recently?

NW: I didn’t
ask him when I saw him the other night. I didn’t want to touch on that
subject.

CC: Sure.

NW: He
played all the golf tournaments and that.

CC: Does he
see Alice Cooper much because Alice plays a fair bit of golf as well?

NW: I don’t
know that they’re the best of friends or not, but I know they know each
other. I don’t know if my Dad still hangs out and talks to Ozzy or
anything like that. I really don’t know.

CC: So after
the Can’t Have You Cake video, Vince had a tour of Japan and there was
even talk that they were going to make it down to Australia here but
that unfortunately never happened. We’re still waiting down here. But
it wasn’t that long after that he met Heidi. How did they come to meet
each other?

NW:
If I remember right, I’m not sure if this was the exact way but I think
it was when she was in that movie Thunder in Paradise. I guess she was
on the set or something, and she was there. I think they taped it in
Florida or the Caribbean. I don’t know the exact place but I think
that’s pretty much how they met. [Note: Heidi has since advised
Chronological Crue that her and Vince met as a blind date 4.5, maybe 5
years ago.]

CC: So Skylar was living with Sharise at
this time and it was a little bit later towards August ’93 that little
Sky ran into some trouble with her health, which deteriorated and she
finally passed away. Obviously, that’s a really tough situation on all
of the family.

NW: Yeh.

CC: What was
Vince like at that time?

NW: He was
really shook up. He kept his composure really good. It’s really gets to
you. It’s heartbreaking. He did the best. He did everything he could
do. He stayed there as much as he could.

CC: Sure.
Did you spend a fair bit of time yourself in the hospital.

NW: Yeh. Oh
yeh. I was there. I was there as much as I possibly could.

CC: You were
still reasonably young when that happened, so I guess that’s a sort of
eye opener for yourself as well. I guess that’s going to have a bit
impact on your life, just experiencing that.

NW: Yeh I
think about it all the time. It something that, you try to let go, you
try to think it’s for the best or whatever, but you can’t let it go.

CC: Vince
wrote the song Skylar's Song which was then included on the Carved In
Stone album. It’s a perfect tribute for her. It’s excellent.

NW: I love
that song.

CC: Not long
after that, Vince moved to Las Vegas to get away from things. Did you
go out to Vegas much and see him when he was living out there?

NW: Yeh I
only visited his house once when he lived out there because he didn’t
live there that long. I only visited once. His backyard was right on
the golf course so when the PGA played out there in Vegas, he had
everyone around.

CC: Do you
play golf yourself?

NW: Yeh. We
played golf together actually, a little while ago.

CC: Do you
whip his ass at that, as well as the video games?

NW:
[laughing] No. I can hit the ball further than him, but he’s pretty
good. He’s got a little bit more experience than I do, but I’m catching
up.

CC: He hit
the road touring after the Carved In Stone album with Warrant and
Slaughter. It seemed like things started to fall apart a bit with
relations with the other members. At the same time Vince stated on a
Canadian TV show that he’d been talking with Nikki about an album,
getting back together again and touring, yet everything was very hush
hush. When did you know that was likely to happen?

NW: I knew
for a while. You kind of hear from people what was going on. I was
happy. I love the guys because I grew up with the band. They’re like
family to me. I was hoping. I was like, "Yeh sign it. Let’s go!"

CC: Touching
on the other guys in the band. How do you see them? Like Mick, give me
a summary of Mick.

NW: Mick?
Ummm, quiet. He’d scare you if you didn’t know who he was. I love Mick.
Mick’s great. He’s one of the funniest people that I’ve ever talked to.
He’s hilarious. You’ve got to sit down and talk to him. He’s a really
nice guy. I like him a lot. Mick is one of my favourites, but my
favourite out of all of them is Tommy.

CC: Why is that?

NW: Our
birthdays are the same day. He’s like a big brother to me. Every time
we talk, he’s like enthusiastically, "Hey Neil. How’s it going?" Gives
me hugs and stuff. He’s great. I try to help him. I went on tour with
them for a week.

CC: On this
last tour?

NW: Yeh.
They were writing songs and I was trying to find a drum beat and stuff.
It was cool.

CC:
Excellent. And how about Nikki?

NW: I like
Nikki. He’s really logical at everything he does. I love Nikki. He’s
pretty cool. He’s very quiet. He doesn’t talk that much. I like them
all. They’re just like a big family.

CC: How did
you go with John Corabi? Did you meet John when he was in the band?

NW: I’ve
never met John. I have that album. I love that album. I’m not going to
dog it. I love the guy’s voice. He’s got a great voice.

CC: Yeh.
It’s a brilliant album isn’t it.

NW: I love
it. It’s a really good album.

CC: How
about your Dad? Has he listened to that album much?

NW: I really
don’t know. I’m sure he’s listened to it but I’m not sure what his
feelings are. He probably likes it. I like it ‘cause it’s totally
different. It’s not really like Crüe. It’s kind of harsher.

CC: You get
into that stuff more do you? What other bands are you into Neil?

NW: I’m more
into like punk and ska bands. I like, kind of happy stuff. You know
when you hear a beat and you’re like, "Oh Yeh!"

CC: Yep.

NW: I’m not
really into rap. I like a little bit of it but I don’t listen to it a
lot. I like Pantera. You know, hard bands like that. But pretty much
bits of everything. I’m not a picky person.

CC: What would be your favourite Mötley album?

NW: Let’s
see. I like Shout At The Devil and Too Fast For Love the best. They’re
my favourites albums. My favourite songs would have to be Red Hot, Ten
Seconds To Love, Public Enemy #1. I actually like that whole first
album. It’s one of my favourites.

CC: Cool.
Mick’s got a son, Les. Have you hung out a fair bit with Les in the
past, or you don’t see him much?

NW: With the
other kids, I really don’t talk to them much. I’ve met Brandon and I
haven’t met any of Nikki’s kids.

NW: No. I’ve
been pretty sick lately. Like, I was fainting and had dizzy spells.

CC: Hey,
that’s no good. Bummer.

NW: Yeh. So
I had a cat scan and blood test, stuff like that.

CC: Sure.
They’re always good fun. Well, on the 27th January last
year, that was the day that Chronological Crue was launched on the
Internet, and that coincided with Crüe Day when Vince once again
fronted Mötley at the American Music Awards. Were you there at the
Shrine Auditorium that night?

NW: No. I
wanted to go but I couldn’t go. I watched it with my girlfriend in
front of the TV. I was impressed. It was a good show. It was good. I
didn’t like how they made it all black and white and everything, but I
liked it. It was cool.

CC: Did you
get goose bumps?

NW: Yeh I
did actually.

CC: I
thought you might have.

NW: It’s
kind of a chilly thing. You go, "Wow!"

CC: And what
was your Dad like leading up to that event?

NW: He was
nervous but it’s what he does. He does it like nobody else. He’s
professional. He’s like, "OK got a show to do, let’s go do it."

CC: Awesome.
So then the Generation Swine album came out and the tour followed.
Where abouts did you go with them on the tour? You mentioned you spent
two and a half weeks with them or something, was it?

NW: I flew
into Indianapolis and went to the show at Market Square. Then we went
to Peoria, Des Moines and from there it was the Californian shows.
There was Vegas, San Diego and then San Francisco.

CC: So the
San Diego show, that was when KrunK supported right?

NW: Yeh.

CC: What did
you think of KrunK? Had you seen them before?

NW: No I
hadn’t. They really weren’t my personal favourite. They’re pretty good.
Athena is a great drummer. I really didn’t like them all that much, to
be perfectly honest.

CC: I
thought you would, since you mentioned that you like the sort of punk
style.

NW: I like
the band that Pamela’s brother is in. He’s the guitar player.

CC: Feeb.
Yeh Gerry.

NW: They
were good. I liked them a lot.

CC: Are they
still playing now, do you know?

NW: I
believe so, but I really don’t know. I haven’t really heard. I really
dug them. They were great.

CC: So what
do you do? What do you do all day? You were saying when we were trying
to set this interview up last year that you had Graduation and stuff
happening.

NW: Yeh I
just graduated. Last year I graduated from College in Hotel Management.
I went to Nevada and I worked in Laughlin, at Harrah's at the front
desk... at Harrah's Casinos. It’s pretty cool. That’s how I managed to
buy a new truck. I used to skateboard and party, and all that good
stuff. I don’t get up to all that stuff anymore. I’ve got bills to pay
now.

CC: So your
Dad doesn’t really help you out with bills? You’re on your own two feet?

NW: I’ve
never really asked him to help. I’d rather do it by myself, so that
way, people aren’t like, "You’re spoiled ‘cause your Dad’s a rock
star." I’ll do it myself.

CC: That’s
excellent!

NW: I’m sure
if I need help, he’d help me though.

CC: What
characteristics or traits do you think you’ve got very strong in you
from Vince?

NW: [pause]
Probably... a ladies man. I think I have an artistic ability in me. I
like to write poetry and songs, and stuff like that.

CC: So do
you play any instruments?

NW: Yeh, I
try to play them. I have a guitar and a bass.

CC: Have you
inherited Vince’s voice?

NW:
Probably. I’ve never really tried it. I’ve had offers to sing in bands
but no, I want to do my own thing. If I was ever in a band, I wouldn’t
want anybody to know ‘cause I‘d want us to make it on our own.

CC: Finally,
can you tell the fans something about Vince that no-one would know?

NW: Oh man!
Gee. You guys know so much about him. It’s crazy. When I get online,
people tell me and I’m like, really? Actually, no matter what anybody
thinks of him… everybody thinks that he kind of stays away from the
fans because he doesn’t get online or answer his emails. Well, he loves
everybody and he appreciates all the mail and everything he has. It’s
just sometimes you just don’t have time to tell everybody.

CC: Yeh sure.

NW: And you
have to answer the same questions all the time. You know, I don’t want
anybody to think that he doesn’t like anybody, or he doesn’t appreciate
anything. He does. It’s just he’ll get around to it. I’ll see what I
can do.

CC:
Excellent. Yeh, that’d be good. A lot of fans would certainly like him
to be online a lot more.

NW: I know,
but when Nikki and Tommy get online, it’s a madhouse. They’ve got to
kind of take it as it comes.

CC: How’s
Vince handling Tommy being inside [jail] at the moment?

NW: You
know, they wrote a lot of songs already. They kind of pushed it before
he went in. He goes and visits him. Everybody is behind him 100%.

CC: Awesome.
Do you know much of the story of exactly what happened?

NW: You
know, I’ve heard so many different stories. Until I hear the real one,
I’m not going to say anything. I’ve heard sides of the story but until
I really know the whole thing, I don’t want to start anything.

CC: No
worries. Your Dad is recording the vocals for the new album this
weekend. Have you heard any of the tracks for the new album?

NW: Not yet.
Before Generation Swine came out, I heard most of it that Christmas
before. They’ll get a master ‘cause they don’t have that yet. So
hopefully when that comes out, I’ll be able to listen to it.

CC: Cool.
You have to tell them to come to Australia again.

NW: I will.
I promise.

CC: We’ve
been waiting so long.

NW: I’ll
make sure I put that in. They need to go to Australia.

CC: Vince
actually came here after the split and he raced in a lead up race for
the Indy Car Grand Prix. Listening to him in a couple of interviews at
that time, I got the impression that he really likes Australia.

NW: Oh yeh.
He loves it. Anywhere but California. He likes to travel. I’ll ask
them. I’m sure they’ll make a tour date for out there. I’m sure they
will.

CC: OK Neil.
That pretty much winds things up. It’s been great talking to you
finally.
